100 are slightly under while the remainder would pass any standard in the world, it is a pity that, simply because I segregate the inferior bags I should be docked. 5020. Do you think it would be against the farmers ' interests to receive inferior quality into the pool? —If it were lightly dealt with, yes. But the Pool would take 60lbs. of the inferior quality just the same; it is not as though the Pool were accepting 581lbs. 5021. Would your plan necessitate the taking of an enormous number of samples at each centre? —No. In normal years not one-twentieth part of our crop is under f.a.q. 5022. You do not think there would be any difficulty in administering your system? —No. Only in a year like 1914; or if rust came badly. Rust ought always to be docked. 5023. By the CHAIRMAN: do not you think the system which has been suggested would be a good one —that instead of fixing a uniform standard throughout Australia, each State should be paid in accordance with quality of what wheat it sells? —I think that would be a good thing. It has not been done in the past. The price ought to be based on the quality. 5024. It would not make much difference, then, to the farmer of one state if his f.a.q. standard were fixed higher than that of a farmer in another State? —Possibly it is the best to have all the wheat in the Pool. there may be other considerations of which I am not aware, of course. But if the wheat had not been all in the one Pool, you would be quite right, Mr Chairman. I may say I have had nothing docked; I feed to my pigs anything that is No.2; I do not bring it in. At the same time, one wants to be very careful that the dockage is not going to press unduly; that the Pool is going to take it as though there were no dockage. In that case the poor the poor felloe who put it in would be paying toll to the rest of the people in the pool.
